“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Another oxymoromic “responsible gun owner” discharges his responsibility.

The injured person told detectives he had been sitting in his car in the parking lot waiting for his friend, Ryan Lafrancois. Lafrancois arrived carrying a large gun case and opened it to show him a rifle, police said.

As Lafrancois removed the rifle from the case, it discharged. The bullet traveled through the gun case, struck the person in the leg and exited through the car door, police said. . . .
